About 600 people participated in the annual race, which featured a wave of timed runners as well as color splash stations for interested participants. The annual event, which benefits the YWCA York, opened with a pledge to end racism. Dow, Thompson and Harrison were three of five women who said they were discriminated by ownership and staff at Dover Township's Grandview Golf Club on April 21. After being told they were not keeping the pace of play and being asked to leave, three of the five women left the course at the turn while ownership called the police.(Photo: Chris Dunn, York Daily Record)

The Confronting Racism Coalition will hold a public meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. May 30 at the Jewish Community Center, 2000 Hollywood Drive, in York.

In addition to holding a relationship-building activity, the meeting will break into groups and each will focus on one of the following goals:

Education: Develop a survey to determine demographics in each school district and provide comprehensive education and information on the county education system regarding funding.

Economic equity: Launch a council to implement best practices to attract and retain diverse talent that creates inclusive workspaces and to create opportunities for small and diverse businesses that increases the number of local minority-owned companies.

Inclusive leadership: Create a guide of racial-related resources and develop a training series that addresses the challenges of biases.

Racial bias: Create and provide training on diversity, implicit bias and cultural competency and to identify and implement ways to increase racial diversity on the police force.

Welcoming community: Organize a response network to decry acts that harm or demean others and develop a campaign to promote the coalition’s work and the theme, "York … Together we are stronger."

The York County Community Foundation provided initial administrative and financial support to the coalition. Now, the administrative support is provided through a partnership between YWCA York and the York Jewish Community Center (IDEAS Center).
